UK TOUR
Off to Dublin via Heathrow, this evening. Will use Easter weekend to wait out the worst of the soul-delay.
There is, alas, no Dublin signing scheduled. For complex, non-author-related reasons, this one just didn't come together. Will do some interviews on Tuesday, then on to London in the evening.
The British events are all 100% on, though, and here they are:
April 23rd, Nottingham
7.30pm
Waterstone's
1-5 Bridlesmith Gate.
April 24th, London
7pm
with Foyles, in the Congress Centre, 28 Great Russell, St WC1B 3LS
£5.
£2 off the book.

£3 redeemable.
Booking no: 0121 631 4333.
April 26th, London
1pm
Forbidden Planet
The foreign British habit of charging entrance to signings is still, well, foreign, but the cost of the ticket can almost always be deducted from purchase of the book, plus attendees are given a certain amount of free wine beforehand, encouraging a congenial pre-event milling about and talking that can be very pleasant. (There may well be laws prohibiting this in large American chain bookstores.)
That may not look like a particularly daunting work week, but it doesn't show the media activity, which is, as we say. "full".
Still, it's London, and peaceful Dublin before that, and those are both places I'm extremely fond of. Looking forward to it. See you there.
SOMETHING ALL NOVELISTS KNOW
In a work of fiction, you can name a character Pollard, but you probably wouldn't name her Sobers unless you had some very good reason for it.
